Please refer to individual garment measurements on our product pages to help you select the best size for you. Our individual garment measurements are reflective of the actual cm's of the garment itself! This allows you to compare your body measurements with the garments.
HOW TO MEASURE
When measuring yourself, if possible, do so in front of a mirror to ensure the most accurate measurements.
BUST - Measure around your chest, at the fullest part of your bra. Ensure the tape measure is even and horizontal across your shoulder blades.
WAIST - Measure around the smallest part of your waist, this is usually a centimeter or so above your belly button. Wrap the tape measure around, ensuring it's comfortable but not loose.
HIP - Measure around the fullest part of your bottom or top of thighs, whichever is the widest. Make sure the tape measure is close to your body, but don’t pull too tight.

I have now purchased a few in this style - Pale Pink, Plum, White and now the Navy - and all are lovely colours - the plum is an incredible colour. I intend to buy the black too. The neckline is great and the sleeves are roomy (I have larger arms). My sizing is 4X and for my height, the dress is 3/4 length. This is great as a dress length. However, I am enjoying wearing them with flared linen pants and I am receiving many comments on how nice the whole look is. I hope Adrift retain this dress in the collection.
